When & How to View the Northern Lights
Alaska is one of the best places on Earth to view the Northern Lights. Although they are visible more than 200 days out of each year in a wide wavy ring around the polar region, Alaska is the most tourist friendly location within that band.

What are the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis)
The Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) also called Northern Lights, are a fascinating phenomenon. The brilliant dancing lights occur when highly charged electrons from the solar wind interact with elements in the earth's atmosphere. These geomagnetic disturbances are called substorms. A hail of high-speed electrons travel along magnetic field lines until they collide with the Earth's upper atmosphere. As the charged particles enter the earth's atmosphere, they will mix with atoms of oxygen and nitrogen at altitudes from 20 to 200 miles above the Earth. The color of the aurora depends on which atom is struck, and the altitude when the gases and the atoms meet...
Northern Light Myths & Secrets
For as long as humans have lived in the northern latitudes they have seen the Aurora Borealis, the Northern Lights, and wondered at their cause and meaning. The lights are visible on 80-100% of nights in a band that sweeps across Alaska, dips southward across Canada, and then bends northward again. It crosses Iceland, the northern edge of Scandinavia, and northern Russia.

Auroras (North/South Polar Lights; or aurorae, sing.: aurora) are natural colored light displays in the sky, usually observed at night, particularly in the polar zone. They typically occur in the ionosphere. Some scientists call them "polar auroras" (or "aurorae polares"). In northern latitudes, the effect is known as the aurora borealis, named after the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora, and the Greek name for north wind, Boreas. It often appears as a greenish glow or sometimes a faint red, as if the sun was rising from an unusual direction. The aurora borealis is also called the northern polar lights, as it is only visible in the North sky from the Northern Hemisphere. The aurora borealis most often occurs from September to October and from March to April. The Cree call this phenomenon the Dance of the Spirits. Its southern counterpart, the aurora australis/southern polar lights, has similar properties. Australis is the Latin word for "of the ...
